Personalized Asset Protection Planning
Legal Tools & Strategies
Asset Protection Trusts
Utah Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (DAPT)
Utah law allows certain irrevocable trusts designed to protect assets from future creditor claims when properly structured and administered.
Other Trust Options
Depending on goals, we may use spendthrift and insurance-focused trusts, or integrate protections into your estate plan.
Business Entity Shields
Holding Companies
We use
LLCs or corporations to hold rentals, equipment, or
IP so liabilities stay with the entity instead of reaching personal assets.
Charging Order Protection
Multi-member LLCs can offer useful creditor protections under Utah law when organized and operated correctly.
Asset Segregation
Don’t keep everything in one bucket. We separate risk so one issue doesn’t threaten your entire balance sheet.
Integrating Estate Planning & Tax Mitigation
Protection planning works best when coordinated with wills, trusts, and tax strategy. We collaborate with CPAs and financial advisors so ownership, titling, and distributions support both protection and long-term wealth goals.
